Friday Favs + Valentine's Goodies Swap!

Holla back if you're glad it's Friday! Woop woop!

Just picture me doing this dance and if you weren't smiling already, you will be.

OH! Before you do another thing, go wish Amanda a happy wedding day!!! Go on, I'll wait. 

...

I'm so excited for her and I know she will be the most gorgeous bride! Congrats and best wishes Amanda! 

This week was...long. Really really long. But here are the things that made me smile:

Favorite song: 

Ed Sheeran, Thinking Out Loud



I've been jammin' to this Ed Sheeran song this week, I LOVE it! Such a sweet song, and I could listen to his voice all day, erry day. 

Favorite new food: 

OMG you guys. This new Ben and Jerry's flavor, dough (Get it?? Dough?? Hahaha, I slay me).

Shut. Up. 

Oh Ben and Jerry, how I love you. But why do you do this to me?? Do you want me to be fat?? Also, Jimmy Fallon you are killing it right now. Killing. it. I haven't tried this flavor yet but it is on the list! 

Favorite workout: 

I would follow that up with my favorite workout. But as I like to say, no pain, no cake (or other delicious dessert of any kind)! 



21 Day Fix Extreme: Plyo Fix, you guys. Straight up ridiculous, in a good way. But I may or may not feel like I'm going to die multiple times during this workout. The only thing that makes me feel better 'bout it is that the extremely ripped and fit people on the video are also sweating buckets and having to stop and breathe every now and then so they don't pass out. I thought the regular 21 Day Fix workouts were intense. HAHAHA, yeah no.

Favorite Posts: 

This post by Kristen of See You In A Porridge- Where I thought I'd be by now- I think this is something we can all identify with am I right? 

This one about Athleisure Wear by B Loved Boston inspired me to try those joggers again! Are they not so cute when they're styled right? And who would say no to looking super cute and stylish in what is basically sweatpants?? 

Emelia of Dream Big & Buy The Shoes- I LOVE what she says in this post called You Are Beautiful/Love More. Judge Less. Just read it. 

Favorite Mail: 

Ok, I actually got this last week but it totally counts- I participated in a Valentine's Goodies Swap hosted by Bella of Bella and the City and Carly of Musings of a Wanderer


I was matched up with Lauren of Genuinely Lauren and I was so happy to meet her and discover her blog! Getting a package in the mail is always fun and even more so when it's a package of surprises! I was SO excited when I opened the box to see this: 




Is this not the cutest mug ever?? I'm such a coffee mug addict, and this is a perfect addition to my collection! Plus the coffee she sent is SO good, no joke Hazelnut is my favorite flavored coffee. And I LOVE the washi tape, can you believe I have never had washi tape before?? Serious blogger fail right? But now I do have some and I can't wait to use it! 

Thank you so much Lauren, I love it all and I am so excited to continue to read your blog and get to know you better! 

Even though this post is already way too long, I gotta include some Favorite Funnies: 





Well that's all I've got today lovelies! Have a truly fabulous weekend, whether you're schedule is full or you're basically binge-watching TV and eating pizza all weekend, make it a great one!

  21. I'm sooo behind on my reading and desperately trying to somewhat catch up. Loved this post! The liquid eyeliner thing made me laugh out loud - I can't tell you how many times I have completely FAILED at it. I also loooove "Thinking Out Loud." My friend recently got engaged and this was the song he had an a capella group sing to her when he was down on one knee. ADORBS.
